SISTER ZO @ MOON // FURTHER SOUND // FOOD COURT // IN SESSION // GHOST MEDIA
Event description
Food Court, In Session and Ghost Media are teaming up to bring you a serious night of undefinable and futuristic bass music, headlined by one of our favourite producers: SISTER ZO
Sister Zo has long been on a path entirely of her own making.
After getting her start performing at underground poetry events in her hometown, she eventually moved on to playing live beat sets during open mic nights at one of Kansas City's most pivotal queer nightlife institutions. Occasionally she'd wander upstairs to Niche, a 100-cap club with a legendary sound system, where she got her first taste of the sounds of the UK bass continuum and the LA beat scene.Â
In October 2017, she teamed up with some close friends and founded the UN/TUCK queer/trans collective and record label. Over the next two years, they tirelessly built UN/TUCK into an internationally recognized platform, releasing their own music and organizing shows and parties curated specifically for trans and queer people in Kansas City. As she delved further into the realms of Chicago house, early 2000s UK dubstep, and the hybrid sounds of Hessle Audio, Hyperdub and Idle Hands, she discovered a profound love for DJing and a different kind of production.
Now based in Brooklyn, she has made some definitive creative statements in her career, releasing her debut EP, Screw Cheek, on acclaimed UK club label, Scuffed Recordings, and a follow-up EP, Freak Shift, on Martyn's hallowed 3024 imprint, as well as numerous releases on Sam Binga's Pineapple Records. It's clear that Zo has solidified her place as an emerging artist firmly in her own lane, with tracks that span the continuum of UK bass and North American techno and house, and mixes that seamlessly capture and defy her genres of interest, blending deep dark percussive bass and broken beat with blistering techno, psychedelic house, east coast club and more.
Joining her on local support we have a perfectly complementary all-star cast of selectors including Food Court's INFORDIN, InSession's LakeBoon, and Sigil Sound's NYMPHLOADS, each delivering their own unique take on the sounds of the eminent global club diaspora.
We will have effective bass courtesy of Further Sound's Banshee Soundsystem! Lock in now for an absolutely pumping night at our favourite Newtown nightlife destination.
